Welcome to #04 of my Drawing Experiments Series
Each short clip contains a quick doodle drawn with the simple rules:
• Unplanned (no forethought)
• Spontaneous/random (wherever the pencil tip leeds me)
• Continuous (no stopping to think)
• No erasing
An initial 1-second duration doodle is captured in super slow-motion. This establishment or "birth" of the design is immediately followed by a time-lapse "adolescence" segment of textures and details developing very quickly without clear judgement or purpose.
The initial burst of "scribble" about one second in duration but is stretched to about 5 seconds in super slo-motion. In other words, my brain had no time to consciously "steer" the pencil other than to do a series of tightly-control loops or zig-zags in a quick burst of movement.
Upon seeing the resulting doodle, I set the cam to time-lapse mode for the second segment. Adding some random details/textures was done within 20 seconds but compressed by the time-lapse into about 3 seconds
I'm not sure where I'm going with this... but I find it interesting what the brain comes up with within the briefest of time periods. Like the way you can have a really intense dream within just minutes, right before you wake up!
